Fifth seed Pavel Kotov and unseeded Thiago Seyboth Wild will on Friday battle each other in the Brawo Open semifinals. Thiago Seyboth Wild is in his debut appearance in Braunschweig. To advance to this round, the Brazilian defeated fellow unseeded player Jozef Kovalik in three sets in the quarterfinals. He dropped the first set which was the second time in the competition that he had done so. Wild has had his best moments this season on clay with 43 of his 45 total wins in 2023 coming on the surface. This has allowed him to play three challenger finals on clay, winning twice. He is currently ranked 119th in the live ranking, moving up 12 places after his previous victory.

Pavel Kotov is also making his debut at the Brawo Open. The Russian is yet to win a title and has struggled for form thus far. He has won seven more matches than he has lost with 16 of his 29 victories coming on clay. His latest victory was a 2-1 success over Jan Choinski that allowed him to advance to this round. He had to come from behind to win and it was the first time in the competition that he had lost a set. Kotov is now up to 93rd in the live ranking which is a new career high for him. The winner here will battle either the qualifier Benjamin Hassan or the unseeded Franco Agamenone in the final.
